Typically, if you are sued and have insurance for the car accident, the insurance company will defend the action for you. If the other person is suing over your policy limits (for example if you are only insured up to $20,000 and they are suing for $100,000), you have the right to hire your own attorney to protect you beyond the insurance companies liability. You should send a copy of the complaint to the insurance company immediately so that they may answer the complaint and defend the action.
